Hi! I’m Zahwa! I’m a master’s student in Advanced Computer Science with Software Engineering. I love coding and developing applications.
Outside of academics, I enjoy going to the gym and occasionally swimming. I’m also passionate about watching football, though I’m not the best player myself! I also enjoy reading books.
Feel free to ask me any questions about the University of Strathclyde or life in Glasgow—I’d be happy to help!
Zainab
UWE Bristol
Software Engineering for Business
I was born and raised in Nigeria and joined UWE early 2023. I will admit I waited till the last minute to decide to pursue software engineering as a degree, but I do believe I made the right decision. My passion for coding and software development is growing by the day and I cannot wait to apply my abilities in the real world. That’s not to say I don’t suffer from imposter syndrome occasionally, but I do think being in the right environment has really helped change my mindset and attitude.

Beyond academics, I'm actively involved in social events and love connecting with new people. I also sometimes volunteer with the university’s V-Team, which allows me to give back to the community and develop new skills. Being a Student Ambassador gives me the opportunity to share my university experience, support prospective students, and help them navigate student life.
